Just go to blogs.tampabay.com/nie/ and select Bully Blaster from the categories menu to get started. Whether it's the war in Iraq, a local street brawl or a domestic abuse situation, you can read about conflict every day in the St. Petersburg Times. Find a story about conflict in today's newspaper. Put yourself in the shoes of one of the people in the story. What would you have done differently that could have changed this story? Rewrite the ending and share it with your friends and family.
